Those interested in volunteering can sign up on the City’s website. After signing up, detailed instructions with exact meeting locations will be provided.
Volunteers should wear sunscreen and appropriate work clothing, as well as bring their own water bottle. Tools for painting, landscaping work, and removing litter will be provided. Individuals are welcome to bring their own trash grabbers and work gloves if they have them.
In addition to the day of cleanups, multiple City departments are participating at an Earth Day event organized by the Environmental Council of Sacramento on April 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
